BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.

What is Early Access, and how does it work?
Early Access is a development phase where players can purchase and play the game before its final release. During this stage, the game is still being developed, so players can expect less polished and simplified features compared to the full release.
Why Early Access (EA) fundraiser and not the full game?
Early Access helps keep the initial funding goal much lower, making it easier to reach through the fundraiser. Proceeds from EA sales are expected to fund the development of the full game. This approach ensures the complete experience can be delivered without requiring a large upfront investment and helps lower the pledge tier prices, keeping it more affodarble to a wider ranger of players, while also allowing them to provide feedback and influence the game's development.
What platform will Early Access be available on?
Early Access will be available on Windows.
Will Early Access be available on consoles like Switch?
Early Access will not be available on consoles (only controller support), but a console release is planned for the full game, provided the Early Access and full PC launch are successful.
What kind of updates will backers receive during development?
Backers can expect bi-weekly or monthly updates of the game development progress through BackerKit, Discord, Steam page itself and other social medias. This has been done for the past year and will continue through out until full release.
Is there a way to get involved in the development process?
Yes, backers can get involved in the development process by providing feedback, voting on features, and participating in beta testing. Opportunities for engagement will be available through our Discord server and other social media platforms where backers can share their thoughts and suggestions in a way that feels comfortable for them.
How can I share the fundraiser with others?
To help spread the word about the fundraiser, simply share the link on your social media platforms or directly with friends and communities who might be interested. Social media icons and share buttons can also be found on the fundraiser page to make sharing easier. Every share helps in reaching more supporters!
Will there be any post-launch support or DLC?
Active updates are planned throughout Early Access, with potential further additions after the full release, based on player feedback and development progress. While the main focus is on completing the full game, future content is possible. DLCs might be a possibility, but not guaranteed, in case of content that doesn't directly affect the gameplay and requires extra storage (extra cosmetics, decor, extra stories, soundtrack to listen on the go etc.).
Will there be more accessibility settings added to the game?
Yes, more accessibility settings are in the works. The goal is to continue improving the game and ensure it can be enjoyed by a wider range of players. Additional features and updates will be introduced over time to enhance accessibility.
